Documentation lag time - delivery question

["Sharp, Sandra" <sandra -dot- sharp -at- cgi -dot- com>]

For previous releases, we've been able to provide documentation in time to be packaged with our software. However, due to the Tech Comm team's reduced capacity, we will not be able to do so for an upcoming release. I'm creating a plan that I think is reasonable for the amount of time the two of us will need to complete the documentation post software delivery. Wondering if it's not uncommon for shops to publish documentation after SW delivery? What is the expectation? How acceptable is it to have a lag time between software delivery and documentation delivery?
